Recorded on December 13, 1971, here is the announcement given by station VNG in Lyndhurst, Victoria, Australia transmitting with 10 kw on 4.5 MHz shortwave.  This station was active from 1964 to 1987.  Receiving location was Ancaster, Ontario, Canada.  Amazingly, the recording was made on a cheap Demonstration Musicassette that had tape placed over the ends so it could be reused.  It still plays today and was used to produce this digital version. The announcement is given twice and goes: "This is an Australian Post Office standard frequency and time signal transmission from VNG, Lyndhurst, Victoria on 4.5, 7.5, or 12 Megahertz."  This was given during the 15th, 30th, 45th and 60th minute of each hour according to their QSL card.
